Playing Halo On A Humungous TV

[QuidProQuo]

Gunna need a crap load of extension cables. Not to mention the electric bill. Ahh, it's nice to see our tax dollars at work.

I'd imagine that Starcraft matches are played like this in Korea. Heck, this is what the World Cyber Games needs. A huge sound system + a filled, semi-circle amphitheatre + this MASSIVE screen = awesoooome. Or just playing alone in said amphitheatre, with nothing more than you, this screen and a sound system to die for. Playing something like Unreal Tournament, the "BOOM HEADSHOOOT"'s will resonate through the whole town... /nerdgasm

a huge screen and I still can't see what the fucks going on, fucking bloom

 

[konkwastaken]

That looks so awesome!

Though Halo isn't my thing...

Nor mine, but it does say Gears 2 as well

Am I the only one who sees playing a game on a screen that size as a colossal waste of time? Personally I'm happy to sit a few feet back to play a game not half-a-mile away. Not to mention that surely everything is just bigger, you don't get to see (much) more of the world around you so why bother?

Here's the answer:

Because it's fucking cool.

Yeah, but its still pointless. I must admit that looking at it again it would be awesome but only as a gimmick, a one off, etc.

Oh snap, that IS huge, I was actually expecting about 50'.

 

[Eggplant]

Well you could never play the wii on it, the wireless remoted cant reach the top of that thing and if u aimed for the bottom it wouldnt feel right.

 

[akmarksman]

the cool thing,it's LED so it's bright and energy efficient

Everything is more over-compensatory in Texas.

There is no point, it's just a guy goofing off while the task masters are away. It's like when Sir Edmund Percival Hillary climbed Everest, he didn't do it just for the glory or fame he did it because it was there. He had the means to do something fun and he did it just for the hell of it.

If it were a chair, it'd be impractical. If it were a phone, it'd be impractical. But this is just...awesome.

I, for one, welcome street-sized armchairs.

Are you a blue whale?

...I might not be.

Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should. Still I see your point.

What resolution did they play on? Can't be that high because it's a console. Somebody call me when they hook it up to a dual GTX295 set and run it at 3840x2400. Or 9.2 megapixel for short.

1. You know when you play a game and the light from the sun comes through, making the screen look darker? your going to have THAT problem.

2. Plus, why Halo? Seriously you want to play a good game on it, [Prototype], Red faction, inFamous, Valkyria Chronicles, and before the other PS3 fanboys say anything, NOT Killzone 2.

Thank you, very few people beleive that Killzone 2 isn't acually a good game. It feels so Run-of-the-Mill and the multiplayer dissapointed me. The graphics were nice but I like some meat on my eye-candy.

True, plus everyone jumps on the band wagon thats its a Halo killer, and you can probably tell i have no love for Halo, but Killzone 2 is in the same league as Halo, plus the story to Killzone was to stereotypical and to crap for me to give it a second glance.

Well some rich guys build private threaters with screens and projectors, I imagine before too long we'll see an episode of "Cribs" with some dude who has installed a stadium sized TV in his house.

 

[Gerazzi]

hehe, I just had a "shitting bricks" moment.
Deathclaws, in HIGH DEFINITION
